Answer: X and Y chromosomes.

Explanation:

<u>Chromosome that differs from other chromosomes (autosomes) in shape, size and behavior are called sex chromosome, allosome, heterochromosome or idiochromosome.</u> These sex chromosomes are typical mammalian allosomes and are sex-determining in species in which sex is determined by the XX-XY system. The presence of the XX allosomes determines female sex, while the XY allosomes are for male sex. These chromosomes contain different genes, where some are only on the X chromosome and others only on the Y chromosome, and a few are on both.

The size of the human X chromosome is 164 million bases and currently has 1,170 genes. It is composed of many repetitive DNA segments that do not code for any protein or their function is not known. Only 1.7% of the chromosome codes for functional proteins that are low in length compared to the average length of a human gene. It has a small number of genes known as housekeeping or constitutive -(responsible for the basic maintenance of the cell) and <u>most of the genes it contains are expressed in few tissues or are tissue-specific, which is especially true for those expressed in brain regions.</u> So, the X chromosome is larger and has more euchromatin regions than the <u>Y chromosome which only has genes that code for male sexual development</u>. Since females have two X chromosomes and males have only one, during development in females one of the X chromosomes is inactivated at random in each tissue to make a dosage compensation. Otherwise, females would be expressing twice as many genes as a male. And through inactivation and dosage compensation, both males and females will express the same number of genes.

Answer:

Clear cuts are areas from which every tree has been cut down and removed, in a shelterwood system the old stand is removed in a series of cuttings to promote the establishment of an essentially even-aged new stand under the shelter of the old one, and uncut forests are just your average wild woods, left alone and was never bothered with.

for a simpler answer: clear cuts are clear areas, shelter wood are slight cuts, removing some trees for an environment such as parks and backyards, and uncut forests are wild forests that has no trees cut down.

Which of the following is an example of reproductive isolation? two populations of finches that cannot produce viable offspring
OverLord2011 [107]

The correct answer is A. Two populations of finches that cannot produce viable offspring

Explanation:

Reproductive isolation is a biological and evolutionary phenomenon that prevents two species from successfully reproducing, this means they cannot produce offspring or the offspring is not fertile, even if these species had a common ancestor. Additionally, as a result of reproductive isolation, each species keeps its genes and features. This phenomenon is best exemplified in "Two populations of finches that cannot produce viable offspring " because this refer to the barriers for different species to reproduce or produce viable offspring, which is the focus of reproductive isolation.
